proved to have a positive impact on the students’ discipline in their own school
and at home. The reasons for not segregating can be classified into four major
factors: time, trash bin design and appearance, environment, and action towards
segregation. This could greatly affect the waste management habits of the
students, faculty, and the administrators. The installation of color-coded dustbins
has something to do with the decision of the waste generator to segregate and
to identify the most effective segregation design among three different existing
institutions such as schools and offices have been a practice many years ago.
Solid waste rose in Manila Science High School due to its increased population,
since the addition of the Senior High Department. The school practices waste
segregation in its canteen through labeled trash bins. However, with the

In any school system, academic performance is the priority to students as
well as the teachers. Several studies have shown that factors such as motivation
and study time have impacted on students’ achievement (Cote & Levine, 2000,

influence of the age of the students and of the various activities carried
out within the schools on the different behaviors in separating waste was
also evaluated. The results showed that the production of waste did not

ordinary classes and on the habits of both pupils and staff. In the light of

The size of the trash bin, for example, has an impact on how it is being shown.
Making the trash bins smaller compared to the recycling bin shows these results.
Waste audits on campus have shown that 30-40% (by weight) of what building
occupants put into their trash should be recycled instead, and nearly 10% of our
landfill waste on campus is trash can liners. This is partly due to our historical
waste infrastructure tipping the scales in favor of land filling. By leveling the
playing field so that recycling is treated equally (or even more favorably) to
trash, we can increase our recycling and decrease our landfill waste. Small trash
bin size accurately reflects how little of our waste stream is trash; most of the

eagle and have designs around it and also weighed three times a week for forty-

that have designs attract substantially more litter than the unobtrusive
receptacles. Litter counts showed markedly less litter in the vicinity of the
designed trash receptacles. Less litter was found in the area surrounding
because some people were less apt to litter in the vicinity of the decorative trash
cans and/or because some people were more likely to pick up litter in the vicinity
of the beautified trash cans. Trash receptacles with antilitter prompts were used
